A progressive outlook on politics in Australia and abroad

Honeymoon over

The latest Newspoll shows virtually no movement. The 2PP stays the same at 55-45. No sign of Dennis – in fact, the OO appears to have trimmed its blogs page down considerably; perhaps limiting their blogging stable to those who actually respond to their comments? Instead, we have a Newspoll “blog” attributed to Matthew Franklin, chief political correspondent. Discussion should be at The Poll Bludger, although the site appears to be having some issues at the moment.

I’d imagine he’ll get into all sorts of trouble once his editor gets back to the office. But I’d like to see how Shanahan could have spun that result into anything remotely positive – “no movement is good movement”, perhaps?
